Yum!

The year was 1956 ...

... A tumbledown five hundred year old castle had been restored and in that year began to produce one of the most popular brands of potato crisps. There's a potted history of the County Armagh building on the Tayto website.

Cheese and Onion flavour was the first Tayto brand and, for this writer at least, has remained the best loved of all. At least ten flavours are available now ... and many different styles of crisp. Nowadays the lonely and hungry expatriate can have them delivered to their door through the 'magic' of internet sales.

The brain has seized up this evening and I think the only thing to do is go to bed! Goodnight blog readers, sorry it is so short today!

Elizabeth the Rector

I'm a Parish Priest in Belfast.
After reading geography at Queen's University, Belfast I began a teaching career in Lurgan Technical College. Then, after three years of further study in London Bible College (The London School of Theology) I began teaching Religious Studies in Kilkeel - in the school where I'd been a pupil!
In 1999 I resigned from that post and began a two year course in Dublin; both at the Church of Ireland Theological College and The Milltown Institute, in preparation for the ordained ministry.
The curacy years were in Bangor Abbey and then I moved to the country as rector of two small parish churches.
In 2008 I accepted a call to Saint Nicholas' on the Lisburn Road in Belfast.
